Visitor Reviews of Saint-Sorlin d'Arves (Les Sybelles)
steven_paul from Netherlands writes:
Not the best resort in France but very good off-piste if you know where to go. Also you can divide this place up in two parts. One part is old and forgotten; it consists of 1 old chairlift and many tow lifts, this might sound ugly but most people stick to the faster chairlifts higher up and newer part of SSA which means there's powder to be found days after a dump (fun mellow rolling fields with tree runs at the bottom) .If you get to the back tow lift Bartaveille walk up the hill to the south and go down the other side, it's a nice short powder run set at a nice angle and it takes you to the newer part of SSA.
Go to the top which is the highest point in Les Sybelles and if there is still powder on the marked off-piste area go there, its fun. Many other places to be found up there but I won't tell you where :)
SSA beats any other resort in the Sybelles area and I will be there first week of this season and that means untracked powder fields baby!
